DVD Reviews of Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside/Blue Harvest
DVD Review: Funny in parts, but a bit uneven...
Summary: 4 Stars
A Very "Family Guy" Star Wars.
Creepy Old Pedophile Guy as Ben Kenobi, Angry Chicken as Boba Fett, Peter's Han Solo, Lois plays Leia, Meg, well, Meg gets all the piddley parts, like Jabba and the Asteroid Worm.
As the title says, some parts are hysterically funny, other bits fall completely flat. So, it seems like the execution was a bit hit-or-miss. It's good for completists, and definitely for a rental. Don't know whether it's worth shelling out "for keeps." Overall, I liked it. I'm guessing they'll keep going with additional movies eventually. So, maybe it's best to hold out until they finish the whole series before buying (else, you know you'll have to shell out again for the super-ultra-mega-everything set)?
Both discs do have extra features as well. Some animatics, an interview between Seth McFarlane and George Lucas, a table read for a scene from the upcoming part 3, etc...
Description of Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside/Blue Harvest
Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side:
The story of The Empire Strikes Back is retold. Darth Vader (Stewie) is hunting the rebel Luke Skywalker (Chris) and his troops relentlessly across the galaxy. On the ice planet Hoth, Luke has a vision of his late mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert), telling him to go to the Dagobah system to learn the ways of the Force under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl). Meanwhile Princess Leia (Lois) finds herself taking a shine to the scruffy pilot Han Solo (Peter) and, against all odds, the two soon fall in love. But an encounter with Han?s old friend Lando Calrissian (Mort) lands them in the clutches of the Empire. Envisioning this, Luke chooses to forgo his Jedi training to save his friends. It all comes to a head in a climactic confrontation with Darth Vader himself?

Family Guy - Blue Harvest:
What better way to launch Family Guy's sixth season and commemorate Star Wars' 30th anniversary than with this double-length Very Special Episode, a full-scale, awesomely animated spoof that recasts George Lucas' saga with Family Guy's galaxy of characters: Chris (Seth Green) is Luke; Lois (Alex Borstein) is Princess Leia; Peter (Seth McFarlane) is Han Solo, but not, as expected, Jabba the Hut; Brian (Seth, again) is Chewbacca; Quagmire (and again, Seth) is C3PO; Cleveland is R2D2; Herbert, the creepy senior pedophile, is Obi-Wan (both voiced by Mike Henry); and, of course, Stewie (Seth, already) is Darth Vader ("My diapers have gone over to the dark side"). Poor Meg is reduced to a cameo as the hideous reptilian creature that haunts the garbage compactor. Blue Harvest is reverently faithful to A New Hope, while engaging in typical Family Guy pop-culture references (everything from those old Grey Poupon commercials to Doctor Who, Airplane, Dirty Dancing, and Deal or No Deal) and bizarre digressions (the iconic opening crawl detours into an appreciation of a "way naked" Angelina Jolie in Gia). Along for the wild ride are Judd Nelson, who contributes a voice cameo as John Bender for a Breakfast Club gag, Rush Limbaugh railing against futuristic affirmative action on Tatooine talk radio, and Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase as the vacationing Griswolds observing the rebellion from their orbiting station wagon. A Star Wars spoof in 2007 isn't exactly uncharted territory. As Chris Griffin notes in this episode's final moments, Robot Chicken brilliantly did it months earlier (and let us not forget Mel Brooks' Spaceballs from 1987; or, on second thought...). But the Force is strong with Family Guy, and who could resist the opportunity to hear the Muzak playing in a Death Star elevator? --Donald Liebenson
